San Diego 9-10th

[HEFFAY]

Hey Everybody,

Some friends and I will be in San Diego the weekend of the 9th and 10th and want to find some good diving. We're all pretty intermediate level divers and would prefer a nice boat over shore diving. The girlfriend really wants to see Sea Lions, so would the Coronado Islands be a good start?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Los Coronados are your best bet for sea lions if they dive Middle Grounds, dive locations vary depending on conditions.

The Yukon is an great dive: this article was written 6 years ago and it's only gotten better http://www.divebums.com/DiveSites/Willey/Yukon.pdf

Don't discount our shore dives. If the surf isn't up, entry at La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores are pretty easy. The Cove has Garibaldi, Kelp Bass, Lobster, an occasional moray, and if your luck you might see some of the resident Black Sea Bass. The Shores is popular with people who like to photograph slugs.

Thanks for the links!

Does anybody know if Dive Bliss is still operating? Their number seems to be disconnected, or just not working.

I'm sure that we'll end up doing some La Jolla shore dives on Monday morning before heading back to the AZ desert

Dive Bliss is out of business.

My favorite boat is the Lois Ann.

Coronados is a fun dive, even more with the sea lions
The Lois Ann is a good boat, and I like the first rate crew on the Marissa
